and taxes don't actually reduce anyone's actual income. such an idea is nonesense. more taxes just slow inflation.

if you have less money to spend then you can buy less. thus to keep up sales prices don't grow as rapidly or fall. thus you can afford much of the same as before.

conversely. if no taxes exist we can speed up inflation. we can make things more expensive quickr because people will be able to afford it and companies will make even larger profits. and so things are more expensive and so quality of life imrpves at the same rate as if you were taxes massively.

this is the law of inflation. more money in the market = higher prices.

"Give me liberty, or give me death." it's funny you quote this and don't see the irony. for many the excess charging and patenting of life saving medicines rids most people of this choice.

heating (gas an electricity0 both were government controlled when they were both necesssry (ww2) to keep the nation alive. same with the railways and pretty much everything else. and why was this? because it was deemed to be part of the war effort and so needed to be as effecient as possible. effecient? in a government owned system? can it be true? did we really win that war?

medical advacnes also in this country are mostly done by government nhs or univeristies (free because of the government too)

food is also cheaper becuase of the railway system (who used to own that one again?)

greed is the sign of an american man. the unwillingness to give up a small portion of his collosal wealth to help the sick and dying.
